It was a great post about all the different feelings we get at the finish line, including some personal ones (He proposed to his wife at a finish line! cue the aweeeesssss)

Jamie & I: December 2012

I have met Jamie a few times, and even ran a half-marathon with her. She is an inspiring young woman with big goals that I know she will reach! Her and her Hubby Mike train together which is wonderful, they are 2 amazing and sincere people.

She talks about her day Monday from excitement to watch, to fear and waiting to hear from people. I think we can all relate, waiting to find out if our loved ones were okay, was emotional and taxing.

Dave & his daughter

Dave is another blogger I have never met, but have found him to be a cool guy with a good story. He focuses on the adventures he has in running, and how they have changed his life and formed connection with the running community (running family!)

Yesterday she asked for her readers to send her pictures of their Boston tribute, and today's post is all of those pictures. She really highlights the amazing community we share as runners.

Supporting Boston #blue&yellow

Kristin's blog is a regular read of mine, love reading about her fitness story, yummy things she cooks, and pictures of her adorable twin sons. Kristin was supposed to be running Boston this year, but had to cancel due to injury. She clearly had some emotions heading into Monday with not being able to be there, but so much more after everything unfolded.

She puts her thoughts into words, claiming that they are "all over the place".

In all honesty though, I think we are all the same way, how can we think straight with the things that have happened? Great post!

Laura (@mommyrunfaster)

Laura is always putting out good reads, and I'm secretly happy she will be moving to the North East. Hopefully there will be a meetup! She has a ton of running and life knowledge that keeps me reading for more. Certified coach, awesome mom, great runner, and so much more.

"If anyone thought this attack would discourage the runners or the watchers, they've clearly never been to a marathon."

Luau: #bostontribute

Luau always has posts that hit you, in a good way. His stories are inspirational and heartwarming. He is on a journey to raise awareness for Autism and doing running and inspiring in the process.
His last few posts about Boston are nothing less than I would expect, as someone who has run Boston and someone who is from Boston, he offers a special perspective.Devestated-BostonBeware the Angry DoDo

I read so many yesterday and today, I can't remember them all and I am sorry for that. I will most likely keep adding to this, and again please let me know if you want yours on here.

I literally just opened up all the blogs you listed to read (because I essentially know that I will love them via your recommendations). I understand completely though-so many blog posts (some I felt were just like post a photo...this is sad...which weren't really reflections but more obnoxious because I didn't get the point of that I guess).
